Well that can't be true... According to Ghostinthemachine, they are pre disposed to violence through evolution; they're genetically coded to be animals. Oh, is my white guilt coming through again?

What are the root causes of gang violence in the inner city?


A lack of respect for human life. The root cause of that phenomenon can be singular or compound, but mostly compound.

race, and years of entitlement syndrome.

Ok, the root problem is roots. If women would cut off the bleck roots the problem would disappear after a generation.



Oh, i mean cut off using bleck roots.

Whatever problems we started with 100 years or so ago have been made much worse by government meddling.

A prime example that we don't often think of is the minimum wage law. If a prospective employee doesn't have enough skill to return more value to the organization than the minimum wage costs, that prospective employee isn't going to get a first job. Low skill workers are systematically excluded from jobs that would help them build skills and a record of dependability. So they find themselves at 27 with no skills, no high school diploma, no prospects, and no way to support themselves. And that's a problem.

There was indeed a time in the US when most black families were religiously inclined and had two parents in the home. Our welfare system has pretty much destroyed that.

With all the best intentions in the world, we have meddled ourselves into a situation much worse than the problems we sought to solve.

Unemployed, unemployable, no religious or moral values, no personal investment in the community, and a strong sense of entitlement are a toxic combination.

Inner cities suffering from poverty and unemployment have always been the source of violence above and beyond the norm. Whether it was Italians or Irish or Polish in New York or Chicago slums in days gone by, or mexicans or blacks in many American cities now, or middle eastern and north african immigrants in slums in France, I think humans just don't do well shoved shoulder to shoulder with too much idle time and too much poverty.

There's insufficient societal infrastructure in place to keep the scum from preying on the weak, and then the gangs rise up.

Nothing racial about it, imho, though there are cultural aspects which may change the degree. Single parent families with no time to spend with children is obviously one, similar to a large number of orphans.

Money/power.

Next question.

Broken homes and "kids raising kids".

260..,


Bloods vs Crypts. Hutus vs Tutsi. Same same. It's simply tribal warfare.

O

As long as it's city folk killin' city folk I don't give a schit why they're doin it so long as they are, nor do I care if they ever stop.

Hitler did it.

Like Hitler and Stalin? Missing the sarcasm if there is any.

its cultural, nothing more....DNA doesnt factor in cause the same thing happens regardless of skin color.....the minute parents start not giving a chit things go down hill...so long as parents care and are highly involved with the raising of their offspring things stay on a pretty even keel no mater what race....

Drugs!

People

no cause drugs are a normal part of the human condition....about the worst as far as causing societal problems is alcohol but even it requires alot of other chit to happen to be a real problem....

gotta remember just cause its legal doesnt mean its not a drug..

I honestly don't care.
As long as they keep shooting each other = Win/Win

Hey Tesla, I'm talking about evolutionary strategy over 10s of thousands of years...not something some white folk might have done just 70 friggen years ago.

Aggressive violent behavior was rewarded in sub-Saharan Africa over millennia, they bred, and what we got is the 'modern' Negro.

What my Souta African friends say, they are the same EVERYWHERE..

NBN

same in Europe....people are people...how they are raised makes the difference....boundries in Europe have been far from static for thousands of years due to tribal warfare....
